Oh Jay, that is such a beautiful outcome! Not only good for you in a practical sense but also in terms of reaffirming the goodness and love in people in your life. I'm so so so happy for you!
Snoopy dance...I can just see you as your grandmother describes you - hard-working, independent, very capable, not a person who asks for help. But while I'm sure she admires that, she sees beyond it to the person inside who nonetheless is not an island and does need help now and again. It is a wonderful thing to dare to allow yourself the expectation that there will be someone, somewhere out there who will help you when you need it. I have a similar background to yours so I really know how this feels - both the bad and good sides of the experience.
Anyway, I'm just so happy for you and frankly, it's put a little sunshine into my afternoon. :)Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Love, Lucie
p.s. kudos also to your T, who seems to have handled this so well and helped you into a new life experience. She sounds great. And give your grandma a hug from us!
